At this time, Zhou Huaian came in pushing a bicycle, stepped on the kickstand to stop the car, and shouted: "He, do you want to leave by yourself or do you want me to throw you out?"
He Jianjun hurriedly said: "Youngest brother, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to take Yumei back. Let's talk it out." He had been beaten twice and was a little scared when he saw him.
Zhou Huaian stepped forward and grabbed him, raising his fist, "Get lost..."
"Youngest, let him go and don't dirty your hands!" Zhou Yumei stopped him and looked at He Jianjun, "Go, go back and tell your mom that my family will go get my things right away."
He Jianjun pushed his bicycle without saying a word and walked away without looking back.
Zhou's mother said to Zhou Huaian, "Go and call your brother and bring your sister's things back to town. I won't leave any firewood for the He family."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian pushed his bicycle and left.
"Youngest!" Zhou Yumei called him, "Wait for me at the intersection, I'll go with you."
Zhou's mother disagreed, "Yumei, you are not even one month old yet. Going out in the wind is not good for your health."
"It's okay, it'll be a full moon in a few days!" Zhou Yumei saw her worried look and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I'll put on my hat, put on the old man's cotton coat, and wrap myself with a scarf, so I won't get caught in the wind."
Mother Zhou looked at her distressedly, "You are still young and don't understand. If you are exposed to cold wind during the confinement period, you will have a headache when you are older."
Zhou Yumei insisted, "Mom, I can't always hide behind you in my own affairs. Besides, if I don't go with you, the youngest and my brothers won't give their things to the He family. Bring the things back as soon as possible and cut off all ties with them."
After hearing this, Zhou's mother had no choice but to take the child. "Your husband's cotton coat is hanging at the head of the bed. Wear my big leather shoes. They are airtight. Be tough and straighten your spine!"
Seeing that they had agreed, Zhou Huaian pushed his bicycle out, got on his bike, and rushed home like a gust of wind, running to the medicinal field breathlessly.
"Brother, that bastard surnamed He just came..."
"Damn it, why don't you give him a couple of hits?" Zhou Huaishan threw the grass in his hand to the ground, "Let's go get something."
"Let's go!" Zhou Huairong and the other two also followed him out.
The old man said, "Da Song, you go with them."
"Yeah!" Zhou's father followed the three brothers with a sullen face.
Just as the father and his five sons arrived at the yard, Zhou Yiding also came on his bicycle and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Huaian: "How did you know?"
"Xuejiao and I went to the ditch to buy clothes. When we came back, we saw that bastard surnamed He passing by my door. He chased me to the old house and told Second Lady about it."
"Then let's go together!" Zhou Huaian handed the crank to Zhou Huaishan, "Third brother, you come here, I'll go tell Chunyan."
"That's right!"
When he started the tractor, Zhou Huaian and Yang Chunyan came out of the house together, "Call the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to come along."
Zhou Huaishan said: "Are you still afraid of them?"
Father Zhou said, "It's better to call them. If the He family stops us, we can't fight with Mrs. He."
"I'll go call them." Zhou Huairong and Zhou Huaijun ran out immediately.
Zhou Huaian drove the tractor to the intersection and saw not only Zhou Yumei, but also Zhou Sanshen, Zhou Huaigang, Zhou Datian's wife He Hongxiu and five uncles and cousins from the next-door neighbors waiting there.
Father Zhou had mixed feelings. Since his children were capable, more and more people came to help.
When Xiong Dahai came to the door, the ears of several uncles and aunts in the next room seemed to be blocked.
As the old saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself, and face is earned by yourself!
Zhou Huaian looked at them in surprise, "How did you know all this?"
Aunt Zhou San said, "Erchun's mother said so. We ran into Yumei when we arrived at your house. Hongxiu and the others will be here soon."
Zhou Huaigang rolled up his sleeves and said, "The people who went up the mountain haven't come back yet. If they go later, we can use a tractor to destroy the He family."
Zhou Huaishan looked around and said, "With only a dozen strong men, why would we need to call for help? We can destroy the He family by ourselves."
Father Zhou said, "When we get to the town, if the He family honestly gives us the things and agrees to go to the brigade together to divide the accounts, we won't do anything. If they dare to do anything, we will not be polite to them!"
"Okay!" Everyone climbed onto the tractor.
Zhou Yumei sat on a thick straw mat, listening to her sister-in-law and aunt gossiping about which man treated his wife badly and how she could find a new wife who would live a better life than now...
She understood that they said this to make her feel more open-minded, but she had already thought it through a long time ago. If she couldn't find a suitable partner in the future, she would just live with the baby.
I'm going to separate the accounts today, and I have to ask my old man to name the baby...
Zhou Huaian stepped on the accelerator and soon arrived at the door of the He family in the town.
He Jianjun just happened to arrive at the gate of the yard and saw a dozen men jumping off the tractor. Zhao Huifang and Zhang Xiuxiang also came down with Zhou Yumei.
He looked at her in horror, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Yiding stepped forward and squinted at him, "Of course you're here to get our aunt's dowry!"
He Jianjun looked at a dozen men walking towards him, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Zhou Laoya can’t handle it alone, what should he do with so many people coming?
Hearing the noise, He's father and mother ran out. Seeing the Zhou family at the door, they turned pale with fear. "What do you want to do?"
"Brother, I'll tell them!" Zhou Yumei stepped forward and said, "These two things, first, take my family's dowry, and second, divide the account!"
A dozen men stepped forward, "Yes! Take the dowry and divide the households!"
Some of the neighbors next door opened the gate and stood at the door to watch, while others moved a ladder and sat on the wall to watch the fun.
The one who watched the show and was not afraid of the high stage shouted, "Yumei, are you here to get the dowry? I heard from Zhu Hongxia that you had sent them a letter to beg for mercy a long time ago, and also said that you would be back after the full moon."
Before the Zhou family member could respond, another one of them took over, "Yumei, please don't come back. His family has already seen several girls since you left."
"Second-hand goods are quite popular, but unfortunately no one buys them."
"The matchmaker said that those girls were also worried that they wouldn't be able to give birth to a son and would be kicked out in the end."
"Of course, you think everyone is as lucky as Yumei. Not only does my mother and husband feel bad for her, but even my brothers and sisters-in-law feel bad for her."
Zhao Huifang and the others were dumbfounded. The He family was so unkind that none of the neighbors came to help smooth things over.
Zhou Yumei said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie and Auntie. I said that once I step out of the He family's door, there is no turning back. I came back today to put an end to it."
He's mother was so angry that she wanted to sew these people's mouths shut with a needle. She looked at Zhou Yumei with a gloomy face and said, "Take your things and get out. I don't want them."
Zhang Xiuxiang sneered, "Haha! It's no use trying to be craving for it!"
Zhou Huaian said to his father, "Old man, you and your elder brother take Mr. He to the brigade to find the brigade secretary to divide the household. We will come to you after we carry the things out."
Zhou Huairong stepped forward and looked at He Jianjun, whose face was livid. "Let's go! Aren't you looking for someone to give birth to a son? Let's go!"
He's father saw that it was impossible to reconcile, so he went into the house, took out the household registration booklet, and pulled him, "Jianjun, let's go."
Zhou's father and son followed them.
Zhou Yumei led everyone into the yard and went straight to her room. She pointed at the furniture in the room and said, "These are all mine. There is also a basin stand outside. There is also a box in their room."
More than a dozen men instantly filled the room, and the dark and narrow room suddenly became lively.
Zhou Huaian swept the dirty clothes on the cabinet to the ground and said, "Get started!"
"Bah~" Zhang Xiuxiang spat at He's mother who was standing in the main hall outside, "Shameless, even trying to steal my daughter-in-law's dowry."
Zhao Huifang looked at her and said, "Take out the box!"
Looking at the ferocious man in the room, He's mother pushed open the door without saying a word and went to copy the box.
Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding lifted up the cabinet, pulled out everything inside and threw it on the ground. Zhou Huaigang and an uncle carried the cabinet out of the room.
Zhou Huaijun and a few others pulled everything off the bed and started dismantling the bed with an axe.
He's mother came out with the box and wanted to throw it on the ground. Zhang Xiuxiang pointed at her and said, "You try throwing it!"
"..." He's mother gave her a gloomy look and put the box on the eight-immortals table.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. What else can you say to a bunch of shameless and desperate mountain guys?
Zhou Huairong and others quickly dismantled the bunk bed, and each of them walked out of the room holding one piece.
Zhou Yumei's dowry of warm water bottles, porcelain basins, wooden basins... and some miscellaneous items were also moved onto the tractor.
The onlookers started to discuss, "Yumei's dowry is pretty good, huh?"
The neighbor next door said: "The Zhou family loves their daughter so much that they spent all the betrothal money on things for her to marry into the family."
"Mrs. He has committed evil, and will be punished sooner or later."
Zhou Huaian and the others piled up the furniture and tied it up with ropes, "Sister, let's go to the brigade."
Zhou Yumei pointed to the end of the street and said, "The brigade is not far ahead. We can just walk over there."
Zhou Huaian left Zhao Huifang and Aunt Zhou Zhou and went to the brigade with Zhou Huaijun and Zhou Huaishan.
The brigade where the He family is located is called Shuitangba Brigade, and He's father just called the brigade secretary over.
Secretary Wang was about fifty years old, very thin and dark, and looked very serious.
He saw several people waiting in the brigade office, took out his key and opened the door, "Come in if you have anything to say."
"Secretary Wang, you are familiar with the relationship between our two families. My Jianjun went to pick up Yumei today..."
"No need to say so much!" Zhou Yumei stepped forward, "Secretary Wang, you know our situation. He Jianjun and I can't live together anymore. I'm going to separate and start my own business with my child."
Secretary Wang already knew about Zhou Yumei's relationship with the He family. He looked at He Jianjun and his son and asked, "What do you think?"
He's father said calmly, "It's raining and my mother is getting married. She doesn't want to live with my family. What can we do? We have to separate!"
The Zhou family sneered after hearing this. Zhang Xiuxiang said sarcastically, "That's right. Marrying a man who can't even protect his wife and children is no different from being dead!"
After hearing this, He's father's face turned pale and he refused to listen. "How can you talk like that?"
Zhou Huaian stood in front of Zhang Xiuxiang and glanced at him, "If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of what others say!"
"Okay! Everyone, stop talking." Secretary Wang looked at He Jianjun, "What do you think?"
He Jianjun, who was standing against the wall, looked up and said in a muffled voice, "I will do whatever my old man says." (End of this chapter)
